Some of us attempt to take reality on reality’s terms, rather than pretend we have national ranked choice voting. The only signal people are sending by voting for a third-party presidential candidate is that they are easily fooled into voting against their own interests. Feel free to organize for your preferred alternative during primaries and local elections, and know that the Republican party is not going implement RCV or give one single fuck about Netanyahu continuing his genocide.

Especially since for some reason ambulances light up as targets on the IDF’s weapon systems

Every time you buy a Big Mac, set one ingredient aside. Then at the end of the week you have a free Big Mac. And you love it even more, because you made it with your own hands.

Well that’s not accurate. By weight, Trump is one of their largest customers.

Trump is exceptionally unequipped for this because the presidency is the only job Trump ever “applied” for in his life and when we fired him he organized a violent coup, including a gallows for Vice President Michael Pencil.

There’s a difference between asking the same question again after a non-answer (which is what all interviewers should do) and interrupting someone to prevent them from answering the question.

If a neighbor asked me I would be happy it’s not going into a landfill and offer to help carry it. Or I would tell you about the ancient curse it holds, and why no mortal should possess it.

The problem is radio wavelengths are much longer than visible light thus the huge size of radio telescopes on earth, which would also make a space-based one a challenge

My parents are still very Mormon, which means being openly bigoted is bad manners. That said, I don’t think I ever visit without my dad saying something about climate change being a hoax, illegals voting in California, wildfires being part of some AntiFa conspiracy, etc. Can’t tell whether he sincerely believes this nonsense or is just trying to get a reaction. I try not to engage other than asking where he learned about it and how he’s tried to fact check it. These discussions are not productive, and I don’t visit unless it’s a major holiday or someone’s birthday.
